CDC Media Statement: CDC Supports New WHO Early Release HIV Treatment and PrEP Guidelines

CDC Supports New WHO Early Release HIV Treatment and PrEP Guidelines

 

CDC welcomes today’s announcement by the World Health Organization (WHO) of new Early Release HIV Treatment and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) guidelines that will significantly increase the number of people eligible for life-saving anti-retroviral treatment (ART) and expand access to a powerful tool for preventing HIV among those at greatest risk.

 

These recommendations are a major step forward in the global fight against HIV. They have the potential to dramatically reduce transmission of HIV worldwide, increase the widespread use of PrEP among those who need it most, and help those living with HIV live longer, healthier lives.

 

The new WHO guidelines call for treatment for all individuals living with HIV – regardless of CD4 count. This is a dramatic shift from existing WHO guidelines that recommend ART for those with compromised immune systems (CD4 counts less than 500) and other vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, and people with TB. The new guidelines also recommend daily oral PrEP as an additional prevention choice for those at substantial risk for contracting HIV as part of a combination prevention approach.

 

Thanks to recent scientific breakthroughs, we now know unequivocally that early and effective treatment not only reduces HIV transmission but also significantly improves health outcomes for those living with HIV. The research on PrEP is also strong. PrEP has been shown in many studies and “real world” situations to reduce the risk of HIV infection by more than 90% among those who regularly take their medications.

CDC Press Release: CDC awards $22,800,000 to increase colorectal cancer screening

CDC awards $22,800,000 to increase colorectal cancer screening

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today it has awarded a total of $22,800,000 to 24 state health departments, as well as six universities, and one American Indian tribe to increase colorectal screening. The grants, awarded in a competitive process, are designed to increase colorectal (colon) cancer screening rates among men and women aged 50 to 75 years.

 

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer of both men and women in the United States, but it does not have to be. Screening can find precancerous polyps—abnormal growths in the colon or rectum—so they can be removed before turning into cancer. Screening also helps reduce deaths due to colorectal cancer.

 

“Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer of both men and women in the United States, but most colorectal cancer can be prevented,” said Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Screening saves lives and funds we are providing the states will support doctors, nurses, and others to save lives."

Injuries cost the US $671 billion in 2013

CDC study shows injuries and violence create substantial economic burden

 

The total cost of injuries and violence in the United States was $671 billion in 2013, according to two Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR) released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The cost associated with fatal injuries was $214 billion; nonfatal injuries was $457 billion. Each year, more than three million people are hospitalized, 27 million people are treated in emergency departments and released, and more than 192,000 die as a result of unintentional and violence related injuries.

 

“Injuries cost Americans far too much money, suffering, and preventable death,” said CDC director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “The doubling of deaths by drug poisoning, including prescription drug overdose and heroin, is particularly alarming.”

 

The two studies include lifetime medical and work loss costs for injury-related deaths and injuries treated in hospitals and emergency departments and break down costs by age, gender, and injury intent.  Other key findings include:
